An unmanaged, untyped, resizable list, without any thread safety check features.

Namespace: Unity.Collections.LowLevel.Unsafe

Syntax

public struct UnsafeList : INativeDisposable, IDisposable

Constructors

UnsafeList(Int32, Int32, Int32, Allocator, NativeArrayOptions)

Constructs a new container with the specified initial capacity and type of memory allocation.

Declaration

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Int32	sizeOf	Size of element.
Int32	alignOf	Alignment of element.
Int32	initialCapacity	The initial capacity of the list. If the list grows larger than its capacity, the internal array is copied to a new, larger array.
Allocator	allocator	A member of the Unity.Collections.Allocator enumeration.
NativeArrayOptions	options	Memory should be cleared on allocation or left uninitialized.

UnsafeList(Int32, Int32, Int32, AllocatorManager.AllocatorHandle, NativeArrayOptions)

Constructs a new container with the specified initial capacity and type of memory allocation.

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Int32	sizeOf	Size of element.
Int32	alignOf	Alignment of element.
Int32	initialCapacity	The initial capacity of the list. If the list grows larger than its capacity, the internal array is copied to a new, larger array.
AllocatorManager.AllocatorHandle	allocator	A member of the Unity.Collections.Allocator enumeration.
